    Have you ever tried fermenting at home, or does the 'explosion' risk still scare you off?

    I make my own ginger soda every week. Ginger soda makes my stomach feel good. I give my ginger soda different flavors all the time. Its Great.

    Today, most carbonated supermarket beverages contain high fructose corn syrup, even Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Schwepp's Ginger Ale.  Regulation should be examined like peeling away the layers of an onion.  Unfortunately, our corrupt politicians today are rewarded by the Corn Lobby.  Corn is fed to chickens, beef, pigs, and sheep. It's in beverages, baked goods, and it's even in our gasoline.  But, ask yourself, whose side is the FDA and the USDA actually on, the American Cunsumer or the Major Corporations, and the Corn Lobby?

    This is not a generation. It’s like five generations to lose this.

    Don't use tap water, the chlorine will prevent fermentation.

    The well didn't go bad - it was poisoned by the usual suspects...

    I just watched this from the ICU where I have been stuck for a month because I almost died due to a stomach issue. I am trying this. I have had issues for almost a year now. I need my life back.

    If you're like me and can't afford to buy distilled water. Boiling will remove the chlorine. Another is to let it sit for 24 hours and the chlorine will leave the water.

    I started my bug 3 weeks ago. I left it in the fridge for 1 week and went on holiday. When I came back, I started my first fizzy apple juice. It’s alive ! Every morning, I burf it and making bafff ! noise. As a keto person, it’s great. The byacteriez and yeast eat the sugar and in return,,i have an acid that is good for my gut . Amazing 🤩
